What I know I know that every different type of music has its own message. Whether the music is pop, rock, hip-hop, indie, jazz or anything else it’s all different but the same in a way. Music in this decade has changed so much but no matter what music has always defined a person, group or race. People listen to the music they listen to because it is a way of showing the world that “this is my message.” No matter if people listen to love songs, hardcore, rap or even music with no lyrics, that’s what defines them, that’s the way to show “this is who I am.” In the beginning of time music has defined a person and if you didn’t listen to the music everybody else did you were somewhat shunned. If you liked anything other than jazz, or “untasteful” music back then you would’ve had no friends. “Oh, you listen or dance to colored music? You can’t talk to us.” Even now in this century the pop-culture is everything, it’s bigger than ever! I know that some kids bully or get bullied over the music they listen to and it’s horrible! It’s ridiculous, that if you listen to some genre or some band you’re labeled “gay” or if you listen to metal,death,emo-core music you get hated on because you can’t really hear what they’re saying. People judge so easily without even taking a second to think that what they’re saying might really hurt the person by saying that, just because they don’t approve. I don’t know about others but out of all the music I listen to I can playing anything ranging from soft indie to instrumental to calm me down. When people see my appearance I know for a fact that they don’t expect me to be the kind of person to do that. Just by labeling me something that I know I’m not and they think they know is ridiculous. I also dance to hip-hop, jazz and tap but do I look like the person to do that? No. Like I said before and I say again music does define a person, not by a stupid label or anything like that but what the person believes in and it really doesn’t matter what genre you listen to, we are all the same. -Shayla Allen
